Meet our Manager
Clare's journey into the care sector began over 14 years ago. What started by chance quickly became a career she is deeply passionate about. Clare initially worked in domiciliary care, but soon realised that the short time allocated for visits often made it difficult to provide the level of care and attention people truly deserved.
This led Clare to take a bank care assistant position in a residential dementia care home, where she could spend more meaningful time with residents and focus on delivering compassionate, person-centred care. Since joining residential care, she has worked hard to develop her knowledge and skills, progressing through various roles and eventually working her way up to manager.
Clare strongly believes in person-centred care, where each resident is supported as an individual. She place's great importance on listening to residents and involving them, along with their loved ones, in decisions about their care and daily lives. Building strong relationships with residents and their families is incredibly important to her, and she operates an open-door policy so that residents, relatives, and staff always feel comfortable approaching her to share ideas, concerns, or feedback.
The care sector is constantly evolving, particularly with the fast-moving changes within the CQC framework. Clare is committed to continuous improvement, ensuring that she always strives to provide the highest standards of care.
